Our office recently added a couple new procedures to treat joint pain for multitude of conditions. Our Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) & Adult Stem Cell treatments are something new to our area, but as mentioned in a previous blog, momentum has picked up on the application of these treatments in the orthopedic world!Recently, we performed these procedures in our office and the results have been quite rewarding! Not only are the patients reporting great results including pain relief and increased mobility; my staff and I are also feeling very rewarded as we see good results and happier patients!If you or someone you know, would benefit from these procedures, don’t wait!Pain free results can be yours too! Here are a few things to consider about these procedures:

You do have to be evaluated by Dr. Tadych for the condition first.

You will be given instructions for the procedure which are a lot like a surgery. Think of these procedures as “surgery through a needle”.

You will be non-weight bearing for approx. 2 weeks (if it is a lower extremity joint like a knee or hip).

You may also require the use of a brace for a while after your procedure.

You can expect increased pain and swelling for the first 24-72 hrs.

Insurance companies are “skeptical” of new or “unproven” treatments. Therefore, these procedures are coded as an “unlisted procedure”. Insurance contracts do not typically cover procedures without known procedure codes. The cost of the materials, procedure for procuring blood and injection is all included in a single price, which will be on a self-pay only basis. We accept cash, check and most major credit cards (including Care Credit).
